We don't yet have enough nominations to fill the seats that are up for<br>
election. In recent years the DMB has routinely been short-staffed,<br>
blocking us from being able to appoint more Ubuntu developers.<br>
<br>
If you are a core dev or MOTU, please consider spending one hour every<br>
other Monday to help others join us by nominating yourself for a seat on<br>
the DMB[1].<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
